I used to spend 3 hours a day here...thanks for my lifeline! THANKS ALL!
by oompa ini did that more days than i could count...i logged on at work all day and would check it hourly...then all evening at home.
i did this for a full two years i think.
this place is an incredible support group many of us may need due to the odd nature of many of our problems....that is what i used it for, even though many are here just for accurate information.. so thanks simon for caring enough all these years to compile and run this place....you have probably saved many lives...including mine btw but barely.....and of course you awesome contributors who came to my aid so many times....also a big thanks!!

How many of you were baptised at a young age?
by lepermessiah inone thing this site has made me reflect on the baptism practice in jw land.. many of us were raised in the religion, thus you were given the pressure early on to shoot for baptism as a goal.. i remember feeling bad because i waited until the ripe old age of 14 to take the plunge.. looking back, i realize that when i was 14, i didnt even know what my favorite color was, let alone have enough knowledge to make a life altering decision.
yet, growing up in that climate, i would say anyone who waited past their early teens to get baptised was viewed with great suspicion and was likely to be viewed as "bad association".
kids who took the dip at 8-9 years of age were viewed as "wise beyond their years" and the like.. how old were some of you when you were baptised, and what are your feelings on the matter?.

The 'you don't look happy' theory, the anorexic masturbator, and other crazy cunundrums(?)
by freeflyingfaerie inso it was that we were having another emotionally charged conversation, my parents and i. in the course of it, they condescendingly told me i wasnt happy, because i just dont look like it to them (they don't even know me anymore, as we have no real relationship-- the never-ending assumptions they make of others infuriates me to no end!!).
my theory~~~ of course df'd family and ex-friends don't look happy to them!
what they see (if they ever encounter us) is someone who is dead to them, has been publicly flogged emotionally and mentally~~~why would we fake a smile and pretend everything is normal and ok when we see them?

Why does the WTBS hate sex so much?
by highdose innow i know they try to control everything and pretty much ban anything.
but sex seems to be somthing they can't stand and would like to get rid of completly if they could.
so many articles and so much conusel about not having sex or having anything to do with sex from any angle at all.
